"Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Set for Chinese Release in Mid-Summer"

by Ava May 12,2025

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, the mobile adaptation of the renowned MMORPG that transformed from a launch disaster to a critically acclaimed success for Square Enix, is generating significant excitement. A recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store has set a potential release date of August 29th, stirring anticipation among fans.

Originally launched in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV faced near-universal negative reviews, prompting Square Enix to undertake a monumental overhaul. The result was Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has since captivated players with its continuous expansions and updates. The prospect of experiencing this epic MMO on mobile devices has fans, including our own Shaun Walton, eagerly awaiting further details.

The question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. With Tencent's Lightspeed handling the port, an earlier release for Chinese players isn't out of the question, though a late August global release seems plausible. Series producer Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that the mobile version has been in the works for some time, suggesting a polished and well-crafted port is on the horizon.
